Hi all, thanks for your input here...

We can for sure agree that one way to solve it was datavalidation when the
data is going to be processed - but this cant be done since different fields
can be used for different purposes, and a SPACE character is a character
that can make sense, even as a trailing space.

Therefore i want to be able to assist the user, so they can spot theese
additional spaces - some of which are totally alright, i cant unfortunately
make a general rule that strips leading and trailing spaces, etc. etc.

So the only way i can see you would be able to help the user, was that you
had the backgroundcolor ex. white the textbackground ex. grey, the textcolor
ex. black - that way it would pop into the eyes. But i guess that cant be
easily done unless im going to convert it into somekind of applet or
application ?
